Crafted With Care

Hand harvested and cooled overnight. 10% of fruit was left as whole bunches while the remainder was destemmed into small stainless steel open-top fermenters. Natural fermentation with twice daily cap wetting. Left on skins for 15-20 days before pressing to French oak barriques (42% new). Natural malolactic fermentation in the spring as temperatures warmed. Racked from barrel once during the 18 months. Light filtration.

“Elegant rather than blockbuster syrah with plum, berry, floral, violet, pepper, mixed spice and a hint of fresh herb flavours. A complex wine with an impressively lingering finish. Can be appreciated now but promises to age well”
